Really cool little game, great pixel graphics and sounds. Especially like the hell hound chase scene. Nice work

I love this. The style/aesthetic, the funny dialogue, the audio, it's all fantastic. I haven't managed to beat it yet (at 10 gems) but the fact you made it possible to come back and pick up where you left off is great and I will definitely be coming back again to try and complete it. Only thing I can even remotely ding you on was a few bugs I ran into with the game locking up or text not fitting into bubbles correctly. Also, it's spelled "Dorothy" not "Dorethy".
Awesome job!

BK's Super Onewheel AdventureYea I do remember actually - the part where you are fighting that jumping spider boss thing. I'm not sure if I walked off screen somehow or something but I wound up in a state where I was on another screen (the one to the left of where that fight happens) but I could still hear the boss sounds. Everything was just stuck with me unable to do anything so I restarted the game. Fortunately the fact it saves and reloads meant I lost no progress.
I started playing this game and I said to myself "My goodness this is so well done. It reminds me of the game from LOWREZ Jam that I helped trouble shoot, and that won first place." Lo and behold, you're the same person.
You do amazing work and I hope that you find success in this industry.
